This week we did not lose any weight but we did maintain where
we were. So no gain is huge. As I look back and review our week, I found
several factors that influenced this.
1.
I ordered our food late because we were moving and
I didn’t want the food to go to old address.
2. Typically
when I place a food order it is here the week after I order, this time it took
2 weeks, so we ran out of most of the foods. I did the best I could trying to improvise.
3. Because
of the move and putting stuff away, we cut back on exercising.
4. Rick did really well about sticking to foods
that were good for him, but I cheated a couple times, like Snack size chicken
bites from McDonald’s and an ice cream cone.
What we learned:
If we stick to what we know is good to eat we
can maintain our current weight.
Before we started Nutrisystem we used to take
pills for indigestion daily plus eat antacids. We always had heart burn. After
we started the program, we have not had heartburn at all and we no longer take either the
pill or antacids. But when I cheated with that McDonald’s food, I had heartburn
all night. Now I know that I need stay
away from fried foods for good.
But still, we are back on track this week,
food has arrived, and I am walking twice a day. Rick is headed back to the gym
this week as well.
